Corona Virus Peak Watch Thread

If people are going to restaurants and violating CDC guidelines for distancing, then they are contributing to the spread of the virus.

Florida had over two thousand three hundred new cases yesterday. Florida is averaging 35 deaths per day. That is likely to increase as snow birds travel from colder climates to winter in Florida, bringing the virus with them.

You can't out-spin a virus. It doesn't care what you say. It thrives where people ignore precautions and allow close proximity. The virus is airborne. It travels through the air from one human to another. The best way we can fight this war is to keep distance between humans. Going to restaurants is not wise, and risks transmission of the disease and potential deaths being caused.

We are in a war, not of our choosing, but a war just the same.

This is a different war.

It is the humans against the bug.

The major weapon humans have to fight the bug is to stay apart. When humans spend time in close proximity, especially indoors, the bug can jump from one human to another. Humans need to stay apart.

Humans who observe the guidelines are fighting the war, fighting for humanity.

Humans who ignore the guidelines are actually helping the enemy.

Everyone needs to ask themselves which side they are on.

Are you with humanity? Or against it.

Trump bungled pandemic response, 200K died, the economy cratered, and so he is gone.

What else is there to know?

Well, there is this little chore of actually winning the election.

Minor detail...

The 'I got the puppy' phone call? Very nice. But we ain't go no puppy until you bring that puppy HOME.

You hear what I'm saying?
 
70,000 new cases yesterday is a really bad indicator.

Mondays are usually a low figure for the week.

We could be seeing 100,000 new cases per day by election day.

Trump is spewing deadly lies.

We have to vote him out.

 
"COVID COVID COVID."

The president thinks the news should not be covering something that is killing hundreds of Americans per day, and thousands of people on Earth per day.

Russia claims to have a vaccine, but numbers have spiked so badly they have instituted a national mask mandate.

Numbers are spiking in Europe as colder weather forces people inside.

Some American cities have begun to have curfews.

Others have had to set up temporary overflow hospitals.

States are looking at imposing crisis-care healthcare rules where decisions are made based on who lives and who dies.

We can set up additional ICU capacity, but we cannot rapidly expand the number of healthcare professionals available to treat the victims of COVID. We only have so many Doctors, Nurses and other trained health care professionals in this country.

Schools are reducing the number of students they can graduate because under the pressures of the pandemic health care providers are reluctant to take on students for their required clinicals needed prior to graduation.

Some people believe we have already reached herd immunity, that the media is lying, etc, but that is not the case. Most people still do not have COVID. It is going to get A LOT WORSE before herd immunity is reached.

Previous World Pandemics have taken YEARS to finally burn themselves out.

81K New Cases yesterday.

Over 1000 Active Cases concluded in death yesterday.

A thousand Americans took their final breath yesterday. Their lives are done.

But the virus is spreading so rapidly now that the number of Active Cases continues to rise.

These are terrible numbers.

WATCH: Paris roads choked by record-setting, pre-lockdown traffic jams as citizens flee capital en masse

Notorious for its extraordinary traffic congestion, Paris outdid itself on Thursday evening, with a record-breaking 700km traffic jam as residents fled the capital ahead of the second coronavirus lockdown.
Many Parisians apparently opted to spend the impending lockdown in the countryside, in scenes reminiscent of the first lockdown earlier this year, before which residents fled the major population centers. Eyewitness footage from the French capital captured the chaos.

Just like the movies.
 
The numbers are spiking.

We will soon be seeing 100,000 New Cases per day. It will probably happen today.

91,530 New Cases yesterday.

Serious and Critical Cases are close to 17,000. That's 3,000 more than the low point in late summer.

We will probably flip to 3 Million Active Cases today.

These numbers should be a wake-up call, but because of terrible leadership they will fall on deaf ears.

Donald J Trump is just spewing empty words with that 'rounding the corner' nonsense. Looks instead like we took a wrong turn and we're getting into big trouble.

What a slick talking conman.

Anti-maskers are being very foolish.

People are not respecting distancing guidelines, either.

It's like they are asking for it.

And the virus is saying here ya go, have this.

Totally foolish.

Deaths are at half the rate (roughly) as May.

They have had all of this time to get ready.

We have to get on with living.

Weird brag since in May, we were losing ~1000 people a day.


They have had all of this time to get ready.

And they failed. They didn't get ready at all. COVID is out of control. Over 90,000 new cases yesterday.

I don't know how many times it needs to be said, but people aren't going to resume normalcy if they don't feel safe.

Losing 1,000 people a day, and getting 90,000 new cases a day, isn't sending the message that it's safe.

If Conservatives had taken this seriously from the start, we wouldn't be in this position today.

We entered a recession in February, before the COVID lockdowns started.

That's because the Russia Tax Cut was a gigantic policy failure.
